There is a «RFU DC OUT» next to the «A/V OUT» and «S VIDEO OUT» on my hi8 camcorder, what is it ? I searched a bit on search engines such as google for «rfu dc» but i did not find any description of what it is.
I guess it is a wire to transfer videos but is it better than video composite/s-video ? or is it better when transfering to a specific hardware ? (pc/tv etc.. )
please tell me more about that «rfu dc out» thing

It sounds to me like a supplementary voltage connector. On ancient cameras (My knowledge area), you could buy a RF unit, that let you have a RF feed in or out, depending on how your camera was configured. Normally, this additional RF unit required an additional power source, hence the special socket to provide voltage from the camera.
Just in case you don’t know, RF stands for Radio Frequency, and refers to a TV-antenna type signal that works on the UHF band tuneing on a regular TV. (South Africa used VHF, possibly some other countries as well).
These days, with satellite TV, DVDs and the like, everything tends to get connected up with SCART leads (For instant RGB control, or composite video), although appliances still seem to have RF sockets, although who actually uses them anymore is another question!
In the USA, most homes have cable, whether it be from a RF or direct cable source. The cable descrambler boxes y’all have often use a locally generated RF frequency to connect up to a TV, and let you channel switch directly on the TV, although I suppose in time, that will change. Over here, if you have a Sky box, you change channels on the decoder box, not on the TV.
Hope that answered the question well enough for you (Seeing that everyone else decided to cop an attitude here!)

What Is Dc In On A Camera?
DC stands for Defocus Control. DC allows the photographer to change the distortion characteristics of the lens so the “look” of the out-of-focus elements in the foreground or background can be changed to produce more pleasing photos, particularly portraits.
What does DC in port mean on a camera?
The DC-IN port is located on the back of the camera body. Connect the 2-pin 0B ODU DC power Adaptor plug to this port to provide the camera with continuous DC power. The RED power Adaptor provides DC power to operate the camera and to recharge the attached Batteries.
What does DC in on a camcorder mean?
DC in is for a power supply to be used instead of the battery.One would plug into the DC jack and then into the wall plug. Mine came with a charger that you insert the battery into and then plug the charger directly into the outlet (no cord involved). I think these are the only accessories. Great little camera.
What is a DC in cord?
A DC connector (or DC plug, for one common type of connector) is an electrical connector for supplying direct current (DC) power. Compared to domestic AC power plugs and sockets, DC connectors have many more standard types that are not interchangeable.
What is the difference between a DC and is lens?
The IS stands for image stabilization. This allows you to take photos at slower shutter speeds without incurring motion blur. The IS version is older, but is considered better.The IS lens is good, the DC III is very poor and doesn’t do justice to a decent camera.
What is DC in DC out?
DC output allows you to charge your laptop directly from the Omni 20’s barrel port. Omni 20 uses the same port for both input and output, and you will need to active DC output in the menu first to use this feature. This is a more lightweight and battery efficient way to charge your laptop.
What is RFU DC out on camcorder?
According to the manual for the Sony CCDTRV43 the jack (page 77) you are referring to is a RFU DC OUT (RFU adaptor DC output) jack. That jack is for connecting the camcorder to a TV that does not have RCA Video/Audio jacks. The cable you need can be found on page 52.
What does DC mean on a light?
direct current
What is DC power? DC Power is short for direct current, which only travels through a circuit in one direction (as opposed to its friend AC of course.)
Where is DC current used?
Uses. Direct current is used in any electronic device with a battery for a power source. It is also used to charge batteries, so rechargeable devices like laptops and cell phones come with an AC adapter that converts alternating current to direct current.
How do DC cables work?
DC current, however, does not change polarity. It flows in one direction only, and passes evenly through the cable with no alternating characteristics. These differences in the current entail different choices of cables too.
What does DC mean on Sigma lenses?
2) Sigma Lens Format Abbreviations
DG – lenses compatible with full-frame sensor DSLR cameras. DC – lenses designed for for APS-C DLSR cameras. DN – lenses designed for compact system cameras.
What is the difference between Sigma DG and DC?
DC lenses are designed for cameras with an APS-C size sensor and won’t cover the entire image area of a 24x36mm (Full Frame) sensor. DG lenses are designed for cameras with a 24x36mm (Full Frame) sensor but will work equally as well on a camera with an APS-C sensor.
What does lense mean?
IS. IS stands for Image Stabilizer. A lens with IS in its title has some form of image stabilisation built into it. Canon lenses do not offer image stabilisation for images as standard in their bodies – although they are starting to offer digital image stabilisation for video – so this is a desirable feature.
What are DC outputs for?
The main function of DC-DC converters is to generate regulated output voltage for electric and electronic applications. Unlike AC, DC cannot be changed from one voltage level to another (step up or step down) using a transformer. Instead, a DC-DC converter is used for this purpose.
Why do we convert DC to DC?
DC-to-DC converters are used to reduce High voltage DC input to low voltage DC output for some specific appliances. They are also used to isolate some highly sensitive components in a circuit from other components of the circuit to avoid any kind of damage.
Which is safer AC or DC?
Alternating current (A.C) is five times more dangerous than Direct current (D.C). The frequency of the alternating current is the main reason for this severe effect on the human body. The frequency of 60 cycles is in an extremely harmful range. At this frequency, even a small voltage of 25 volts can kill a person.
Do all outdoor security cameras have to be plugged in?
Answer: Traditional security cameras need to be plugged into a power source, while wireless security cameras are battery powered, making them completely wireless in every way.
How do security cameras get power?
There are two main ways wireless security cameras are powered: a wireless transmitter and batteries. A wireless transmitter can be placed in the home or business and as long asthe camera is within range of this transmitter, it will receive power from it. Another option is to connect it to a battery through an adapter.
Do security cameras require power?
Yes, wireless security cameras need power. Security cameras are electrical devices, and all electrical devices need some sort of power. For security cameras, power is usually provided through a plug-in transformer. But some other security cameras can support power over ethernet (PoE).
What does LANC mean on a camcorder?
Local Application Control Bus System
LANC stands for Local Application Control Bus System. LANC control jacks are used for controlling the tape transport of video equipment and connected peripherals. This jack has the same function as a jack labeled CONTROL L or REMOTE .
What is DC example?
Examples of DC electronics include: Cell phones. The LilyPad-based D&D Dice Gauntlet. Flat-screen TVs (AC goes into the TV, which is converted to DC)
